This patch cleans up the tg3 header file by removing the preprocessor

69fc405318 tg3: Remove unused cfgspc device members
This patch removes the pci_bist and pci_hdr_type members from the
device structure and removes the code that references them.  They are
not really used.

The patch rounds out the changes by moving the pci_cmd member to plug
a structure hole that would have been created.  On 32-bit systems, this
movement removes a subsequent structure hole later in the structure. On
64-bit systems though, the movement merely consolidates two holes into
one larger hole.

520eb82076 mac80211: implement dynamic power save
This patch implements dynamic power save for mac80211. Basically it
means enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it
dynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low
latency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some
require the host to do it.

The dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to
ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace
with Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the
dynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms:

iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m

Power save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware.
It's also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is
considered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle.
In case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature
with IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS.

Big thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design and code.

ce7c9111a9 mac80211: track master queue status
This is a preparation for the dynamic power save support. In future there are
two paths to stop the master queues and we need to track this properly to
avoid starting queues incorrectly. Implement this by adding a status
array for each queue.

The original idea and design is from Johannes Berg, I just did
the implementation based on his notes. All the bugs are mine, of course.

be2864cfff ath9k: Fixed RX decryption status reporting
The RX code in ath9k uses sc_keymap to figure out whether a default
key was used. However, the default key entries in sc_keymap were
always set and as such, frames could have been claimed to be decrypted
by hardware when they were not. This can cause problems especially
with TKIP since mac80211 is validating the Michael MIC in the frame
and this will result in MIC failure and potentially TKIP
countermeasures if the frame was not decrypted correctly.

Change key cache slot allocation to mark only the keys that really
have been used in sc_keymap to avoid the issue. The key cache slot
selection routines are now internally avoiding the slots that may be
needed for TKIP group keys.

f1bc4ac61f iwlwifi: use GFP_KERNEL to allocate Rx SKB memory
Previously we allocate Rx SKB with GFP_ATOMIC flag. This is because we need
to hold a spinlock to protect the two rx_used and rx_free lists operation
in the rxq.

	spin_lock();
	...
	element = rxq->rx_used.next;
	element->skb = alloc_skb(..., GFP_ATOMIC);
	list_del(element);
	list_add_tail(&element->list, &rxq->rx_free);
	...
	spin_unlock();

After spliting the rx_used delete and rx_free insert into two operations,
we don't require the skb allocation in an atomic context any more (the
function itself is scheduled in a workqueue).

	spin_lock();
	...
	element = rxq->rx_used.next;
	list_del(element);
	...
	spin_unlock();
	...
	element->skb = alloc_skb(..., GFP_KERNEL);
	...
	spin_lock()
	...
	list_add_tail(&element->list, &rxq->rx_free);
	...
	spin_unlock();

This patch should fix the "iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers" warning
we see recently.

d858822733 rtl8187: Fix crash on unload when using SLUB debug
Reported-by: Hin-Tak Leung <htl10@users.sourceforge.net>

After the code was modified to use urb anchors ("rtl8187: Use usb anchor
facilities to manage urbs"), rtl8187 began generating an intermittent GPF
on shutdown when using SLUB with debugging enabled. Furthermore, rebooting
the system with a ping running caused a GPF every time. There are two problems:
(1) incorrect locking in the rtl8187_rx_cb() routine, a pre-existing bug that
apparently had not been triggered before, and (2) duplicate freeing of receive
skbs that was probably introduced with the change to anchors.

There are two places in the rtl8187 code where a routine was returning zero
(OK) when it should have been returning an error.

54fdb040b4 p54: move statistic timer update routine into a workqueue
This patch moves a good chunk of code from the former statistic update
timer routine into a workqueue, which is kindly provided by mac80211.

Also as a nice side-effect we can lay the foundation for other
essential housekeeping features we want to do in the future.
e.g:
 - drain the (clogged) tx_queue.
 - initiate bursts.
